A fellow DT member and all around lovely lady has posted a challenge on her blog (Up In the Night With Kat). I love her original version and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, mine did not go as planned! I just did not have the right size circle punch and my circle cutter would not go small enough. So my LO evolved and changed and looks nothing like the original! But I will try again!

Kathy's beautiful LO:

And my version:

In my defense...... I kinda ran with the 'confetti' aspect of Kathy's heart and I also included some little hearts with the confetti. *hangs head in shame*

I am going to get another circle punch, maybe a 1" or slightly larger one (what would YOU recommend??). And then I will try again!

This was made entirely with Echo Park's 'Happy Days' collection. Love those bright colours!

Here is the latest installment in my Project 12 and the Colour Suite challenge layouts. I used the August 2010 sketch and of course the August 2012 Colour Suite.

And here is my layout:

I love how this turned out!

I had trouble finding the right colour papers for this one. I had to rope my sister into helping me! And this may be the first time I really used my Cricut on a LO! Love the 'Life is a Beach' cartridge!

This layout was also made with the latest weekly challenge at CropChocolate.com in mind (Celebrate Summer with water) and also the latest challenge on the Scrapbookin' Adventures facebook page (which is to combine 3 previous challenges).

The folks over at Scrapbook & Cards Today who run Project 12, have taken the summer off and are just doing a "Summer" Project 12. I decided I would keep going with the monthly Project 12 still using the monthly Colour Suite.

I used the sketches from June & July 2010 and the Colour Suites from June & July 2012. You can find all the sketches (and more info on Project 12) HERE. And for more info on Colour Suite, go HERE!

So first up we have my June layout. This is the Colour Suite:

And my LO:

The pictures on this LO are from Amalie's class last year and the Circus performance they did. I also made this LO with the current challenge at CropChocolate.com in mind. This week's challenge is "Banners, Buttons and Bows." The requirements are to use a banner on a project and also either buttons or bows.
